Senior Director - Product Reliability

Job Description

• Develop and lead the end-to-end product reliability strategy across design, testing, manufacturing, and field performance for electrolyzer systems.
• Collaborate deeply with design engineering, R&D, and systems engineering to embed reliability into early design stages (FMEA, DfR, HALT, etc.).
• Partner with operations and quality teams to monitor manufacturing consistency, identify systemic issues, and implement corrective/preventive actions (CAPA).
• Work closely with field service and customer success to collect, analyze, and respond to real-world performance data and customer feedback.
• Own and drive reliability testing programs, including accelerated life testing, environmental testing, stress testing, and statistical reliability validation.
• Lead root cause analysis (RCA) on field and test failures, ensuring closed-loop learning feeds back into future designs.
• Build and scale a high-performing reliability engineering team with strong analytical and experimental capabilities.
• Present reliability metrics and insights to executive leadership, supporting product roadmap and risk management decisions.
• Ensure compliance with relevant industry standards, safety regulations, and certification requirements.
  
  

Desired Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical Engineering or related discipline
• 15+ years of experience in product reliability, systems engineering, or product development, ideally with automotive industry.
• Demonstrated success leading cross-functional reliability programs for complex, electro-mechanical products.
• Deep knowledge of reliability engineering tools and methodologies (FMEA, Weibull analysis, HALT/HASS, DFMEA, etc.).
• Background in automotive reliability, or industrial energy equipment is a strong plus.
• Proven ability to bridge engineering and operational teams to drive measurable product improvements.
• Strong data analysis skills; proficiency with reliability modeling tools and statistical software.
• Exceptional communication, leadership, and organizational skills
  
  

We are seeking a dynamic and technically skilled Head of Product Reliability to lead our efforts in delivering highly reliable and durable electrolyzer products. This is a mission-critical leadership role requiring close collaboration with engineering, operations, field services, and quality teams to ensure our products perform consistently and safely in demanding real-world environments.

As a key cross-functional leader, you will own the reliability strategy from early design and development through production, deployment, and field operations. You will lead a team responsible for design-for-reliability (DfR), failure analysis, testing, predictive modeling, and continuous improvement, driving product excellence across the lifecycle.

Ohmium is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
